The businesses of Marshfield, Missouri, have decided to start a sign war.
It began with McDonald’s challenging the local Dairy Queen using a friendly tone, according to BuzzFeed.
“Hey DQ! Wanna have a sign war?” the first sign of many read.
DQ took the name “war” to heart and went after the infamous McDonald’s ice cream machine. “We wld but were 2 busy makin ice cream,” their sign read.
And thus the war began.
McDonald’s came back with, “Wow. Salty like our world famous fries.”
One of the local banks decided to join in on the fun with an entry of its own. “Don’t be salty on our account,” said Arvest Bank’s sign.
